In the 1980’s, Sony gave the world BetacamTM and then Betacam SP TM optimized digital acquisition and production. formats — workhorse formats that introduced such radical improvements in picture quality that The Betacam SX format is designed to achieve superior picture quality, faster editing, increasing they were quickly adopted throughout the broadcast community. Developed to take full advantage system flexibility, and greater productivity in every aspect of news gathering and production. The of the Betacam and Betacam SP formats, the BVW range of Sony VTRs has, for over a decade, Betacam SX system combines extraordinary advantages: an advanced compression algorithm, set the standard for reliability and performance in the demanding worlds of ENG and EFP. dramatic reductions in equipment size and operating costs, the speed and creativity of non-linear Now, in the 1990’s, digital technology is bringing revolutionary changes to the broadcast industry disk-based editing, and the power of a total digital network. — changes that are accompanied by benefits and advantages that can be applied throughout the The Betacam SX format complies with MPEG-2 4:2:2 Profile at Main Level (MPEG-2 4:2:2P@ML) entire broadcast operations. to maintain broadcast-quality pictures from camera through post production. Using the robust compression algorithm that achieves higher picture quality at a reduced bit- rate, the Betacam SX format is the key to superior digital acquisition, high- speed transmission from the field to the broadcast station, high-speed material upload to server, non-linear editing, cost-effective archival storage, and server-based . The Sony Betacam SX System — the first system that brings news operations the full benefit of digital technology, while maintaining the functionality and cost efficiency that will carry today’s broadcasting community into tomorrow’s digital world. Betacam SX Format

The Betacam SX format represents the next generation Betacam technology, drawing on the long experience of Sony in serving the ever-changing, real-world needs of the broadcast industry. It combines the proven performance of 1/2-inch analog Betacam SP format with the digital technology leadership of the D-1, D-2, and Digital BETACAM TM formats.

When tapes are played back with Betacam SX VTRs, these VTRs can scan through the tape and detect all the REC. Start Marks and Shot Marks recorded on the tape. After detecting the marks, a list of all the marks is displayed on the LCD screen, allowing easy cueing to any mark. During the Play, Shuttle, Jog and Still, these portable editors can memorize additional marks called Virtual Shot Marks, entered by the operators. Using this list of marks, tedious searching process will be completely eliminated from tape-to-tape news editing.

Shot Mark List

When tapes are copied onto DNW-A100 Digital Video Hybrid Recorders’ built-in hard drive, these marks will appear highlighted as picture stamps on the GUI of the DNE-700 Digital News Editing System. Using picture stamps also helps to eliminate tedious searching from nonlinear news editing and saves hard disk space by downloading only the scenes selected by editors. This Shot Mark Handling functions of the Betacam SX helps to speed-up the newsroom operation.
